WATER-PURIFIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 648,799, dated May 1 1900 Application filed July 28, 1899. Serial No. 725,388. (No model.)

To (all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES ALFRED Senn- DING, of Buifalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved lVater-Iurifier, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved water-purifier, more espexo cially designed for use in boiling water contained in kettles and other vessels and arranged to collect and store the impurities and to permit of placing it in position or removing it from the kettle for cleaning or other I 5 purposes.

The invention consists o1": novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement, and Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same.

The improved water-purifier consists, essentially, of a iioatable vessel A and a collector B, arranged on the dished top A of said vessel A. The dished top A of the vessel is provided at its middle or apex with an. opening 0 for allowing the impurities collected by the collector B and discharged upon said 3 5 dished top A to flow into the interior of the vessel A and be stored therein. The collector B is in the form of a pyramid having fluted sides D,a ring E being on the apex for the application of a hook or other tool to place the purifier in the kettle or other vessel or to remove it therefrom whenever it is desired to do so for cleaning the vessel A of its impurities or for other purposes. The lower ends of the flutedsides D of the collector terminate above the dished top A of the vessel, as shown at' F, so that any impuritiesgathered by the sides D readily flow down the same to be discharged upon the top A, from which the impurities flow inward through theopening C to finally land in'the vessel A.. f

On one side of the vessel A is. a suitable door G normally closed, but adapted to be 7 opened for removing the accumulated im-- purities from the vessel A.

The collector I is preferably made hollow and. adds stability to the vessel A, so that water when boiling is not liable to upset the device and the water spraying upon the liuted.

sides of the collector l3 readily delivers its lin purities to the sides; I

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A water-purifier, comprising a ll'oatabie vessel having a top, and a [int-ed collector on said top and having its lower ends terminating above said top whereby to form passages for the impurities to pass over the top int the vessel, as set forth.

2. Awater-puriiier, comprising a lioatablvessel, and a collector on the top of said ves sel, said collector being in the form of a pyra mid having fluted sides, as set forth.

3. A water-purifier, com prising a lioaiabio vessel having a dished top with an aperture at the apex, and a collector on said top and in the form of a hollow pyramid havin l'iutei l. sides, the lower ends of which terminate above said top, to form passages for tho impurities gathered by the sides, to allow the inrpurities to pass over the top into the vessel, as set forth.

4. A Water-purifier, comprising a l'ioatable vessel having a dished top with an aperture at the apex, a collector on said top and in the form of a hollow pyramid having iluted sides, the lower ends of which terminate above said top, to form passages for the impurities gath ered' by the sides, to allow the impurities to pass over the top into the vessel, and a clean- ,ing-door in the side of the vessel, as set forth.

5. A water-purifier, comprising a lloatabio vessel having a dished top with an aperture at the apex, a collector on said top and in. the form of a hollow pyramid having liuted sides, the lower -ends of which terminate above said top, to form passages for the impurities gath.

ered by the sides, to allow the impurities to i in the apex of said collector, as set forth.
